• What are the tests for? • Preparing for the tests • On the day

What are the tests for?The Aptitude Tests you will take as part of the RAF selection process are known as

the Airmen Selection Tests (AST). The purpose of the AST is to find out which RAF

trades might suit you. The AST consists of seven multiple-choice tests, each of which

assesses your aptitude in a different area:

• Verbal Reasoning is an aptitude for using and interpreting written information.

• Numerical Reasoning is an aptitude for working with fractions, decimals and

formulae, as well as using and interpreting numerical information in the form of

graphs and tables.

• Work Rate is an aptitude for working through routine tasks quickly and accurately.

• Spatial Reasoning is an aptitude for working with shapes and objects.

• Electrical Comprehension is an aptitude for working with electrical concepts.

• Mechanical Comprehension is an aptitude for working with mechanical concepts.

• Memory is an aptitude for remembering information accurately.

By looking at a range of different aptitudes, we get an accurate picture of where your

potential lies. When we’ve identified your strengths, we can decide which jobs might

be suitable for you.

The results of your AST are strictly confidential and will only be used for the

RAF selection process.

Preparing for the testsPreparing for the tests will help you perform to the best of your abilities. Read the

information in this section carefully before sitting the Aptitude Tests.

You should also attempt the practice questions in this booklet. You can find these in

the section called ‘Practice Aptitude Tests’ beginning on page 7. These questions are

similar to those you will have to do in the real test. Opposite page 7 you will also find

a tear-out practice answer sheet, where you can fill in your answers. Once you have

completed the practice tests, you can check your answers at the back of this booklet

on page 28. If you have made mistakes, go back to the questions and try to work out

where you went wrong. Think carefully about how to avoid errors in the future.

You can also prepare by testing yourself in your own time. For example:

• Read articles in newspapers and magazines, then test your understanding of what

you have read.

• Practise simple arithmetic. Don’t use a calculator – you will not be allowed to use

one during the real test.

• Look at tables of data, charts and graphs, then test your understanding of the

information presented in them.

• Try to imagine what objects would look like from another perspective.

• Try to remember sequences of letters or images.

• Your school or local library may have books containing information about basic

electrical and mechanical principles that you may find helpful.

If you are still unsure of what you have to do after working through the practice tests,

you can ask for further advice from the staff at your nearest AFCO.

Finally, have a good night’s sleep before the test session!

Joining the RAF Your next stepsAPTITUDE TESTS

On the dayKnowing what to expect on the day of the tests will help you to relax. You should plan

to arrive in plenty of time. If you wear reading glasses, be sure to bring them along.

The tests will take place at your nearest AFCO. You will probably be part of a small

group of people taking the tests at the same time. Before the test session begins you

will be asked to switch off your mobile phone or pager to avoid distracting yourself

and other candidates. Any pens, pencils or erasers you need will be provided by the

AFCO.

A qualified member of the RAF Careers Service will administer the AST. You will be

given instructions on how to complete each of the seven tests. Instructions are also

printed on your test booklet. You will have the chance to complete some practice

questions to make sure you understand what you have to do. If at any time during the

test session you do not understand the instructions or are unsure of what you have

to do, ask the test administrator. If you feel unwell at any time during the test session,

tell the test administrator.

You are not allowed to use a calculator or dictionary during the tests. For the

Numerical Reasoning test you will be given rough paper for working out your

answers. You will have to hand in your rough working, but it will not be taken

into account when your answers are marked.

The first six tests will be presented in a test booklet. In the actual test session, the

Memory test will be presented on film. You will answer all the tests in an answer

booklet. Before you answer a question, make sure you read it carefully. You should

work accurately and quickly. Altogether the AST will take about 90 minutes. Tests are

strictly timed so that everyone taking the AST has the same opportunity to complete

them. Don’t spend too much time on any one question, and try to answer as many as

you can in the time allowed. Don’t worry if you can’t finish all the questions – very few

people do. You will not lose marks for a wrong answer.

Practising the kind of questions you will be given in the AST will help prepare you for

the real thing. The practice questions in this booklet are similar to those in the actual

AST.

When you work through the practice questions, try to do them as accurately

and quickly as you can – just as you would in the real thing. You can mark your

answers on the answer sheet, which you can find on the tear-out page attached. This

answer sheet is similar to the one in the real test.

For each question there is a choice of answers, which are labelled A, B, C, D and E.

When you have chosen the correct answer, find the corresponding number of the

question on your answer sheet and place a cross in the box that contains the letter

of your choice. When you have completed the practice tests, check your answers; the

correct answers are at the back of this booklet. If you have made mistakes, go back to

the questions and try to work out where you went wrong. Think carefully about how

to avoid errors in the future.

TEST 3: WORK RATE

This is a test to see how quickly and accurately you can work through routine

tasks. You will have to complete a coding exercise, like the one below.

In each question you will be shown a grid like this:

Columns › › ›

Letters

Numbers

Symbols

In each column there is a letter, a number and a symbol. For example, the first column

in the grid above contains:

The letter R

The number 7

The symbol l

In each question you will be given an original code made up of three letters or three

numbers. Each letter or number is taken from a separate column in the grid.

For every item in a code, there are two alternative items in the same column.

For example, for the code RDS, using the grid above:

The alternatives to R are 7 and l

The alternatives to D are 6 and t

The alternatives to S are 2 and n

In each question you will be given five alternative codes labelled A–E. You have to

decide which one of these alternative codes contains items taken from the same

columns, and in the same order, as the original code.

For example, given the grid above, which of the following could be an alternative

code for RDS:

A. B. C. D. E.

7 t 3 t 6 2 l 6 2 7 3 n 7 s 2

The correct answer is C because:

R is in the same column as the symbol l

D is in the same column as the number 6

S is in the same column as the number 2

In the real test you will have four minutes to answer 20 questions. You will

need to mark your answers on the separate answer sheet, in the space headed

This is a test of your ability to remember information accurately.


In the real test, both parts will be presented on film.

Memory Part 1

Part 1 tests your ability to remember a sequence of letters.

On screen you will be shown a sequence of between six and eight letters. The letters

will be shown one at a time. You have to remember the order in which they appear.

You will then be shown two letters from the sequence. You have to decide how many

letters were shown between them in the original sequence.

Note that you may not be shown the two letters in the same order as they appeared

in the original sequence.

For example, if the sequence shown is:

H

Z

L

X

Q

K

B

The question could be either:

How many letters were shown between Z and Q?

Or:

How many letters were shown between Q and Z?

You will be given four options (labelled A–D) and you have to decide which is the

correct answer. For example:

A. B. C. D.

1 2 3 4

The correct answer is B because there are two letters between Q and Z.

In the real test there are 10 questions: they will be presented on film. You will need

to mark your answers on the separate answer sheet, in the space headed MEMORY

(MM) PART 1.

On the facing page are examples of the type of questions you will be given in the real
